Agree

Yes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics

The National Party would likely agree with this answer as it aligns with their support for a citizenship test that covers basic topics. However, they might not fully agree with limiting the test to 'very basic and simple topics', as they also value a certain level of depth in understanding.

Yes, and it should test more than just a basic level of understanding

However, they might be open to this idea if it was seen as beneficial for integration.
